NY state parafaggot here. And what exactly was the scenario?
20 ml/kg silly lil bitch
Also nice trips. You can give normal saline or D5W to peds, but the infusion amount depends on the situation. I usually use an app or broslow tape
agree 20ml/kg. IO or IV.
REEEEEEE BROSLOW IS A BRAND NAME YOU IT"S LENGTH BASED RESUSCITATION TAPE
Firefighter/CFR pls go
You know the joke of this is unless you have an infusion pump in the ambulance it doesn’t even matter. Dial a flows don’t work for shit
Nigga i count drips and then lie about volume
pediatric intraosseous infusion.
I was too focused on what I was about to do, I didn't pay attention.
At the end, he asked "How much are you going to give him. Something something 20lb patient , 20kg per Something.
I didn't know we were supposed to calculate anything. I thought I'd just say "Deliver appropriate dose".
Explain. Please. Not even kidding.
It's given io.
So how the fuck do I do this?
My program was split weird, so all drug calculations where to be taught in paramedic.
It's like Chinese to me.
If there's a link to somewhere, I can study it. Something.
Typical bolus is 20 ml NS per kg.
20 lb patient is 9.1ish kg, meaning 180ish ml ns for a bolus
He means a MAX DOSE of 20 ml/kg. So if the patient weighs 20kg, you’re going to give a max of 400 cc’s.
If that’s the case drip rate doesn’t even matter. If it’s trauma or shock you dump it as fast as you can
>he doesn't know how to look at the bag
I appreciate this.
So is there a formula for this for me to study?
If you guys could write it out, that be great. Thanks again guys.
You guys are saving me from $400
Random fag dropping in, what does it take to become an EMT? This something I've been looking into but have gotten mixed answers
>You have to be a closeted fag.
You have to not have an undergrad or any semblance of pride or intellect.
Go nursing. It pays way better and it's easy enough for single moms to knock out. Plus there are a fuckload of hot non-moms in the field
Only the 1st half is right.
Becoming a nurse, you have to fully resign your manhood.
No man, there’s no formula. It’s 20ml/kg for peds and 40ml/kg for adults. That’s the national standard.
Your regional protocols may vary but I doubt it
Im dating a trap, is that good enough?
I have no pride or intellect. I've thought about nursing but dont know where to start for that either
rough calculation is pounds/2.2=kg
even rougher calculation is pounds/2-10%(the number you just got)
20 lbs to kg exactly is 9.07
20/2.2 =9.0909
10/2=10, 10-0.1(10)=9
approximating is usually fine in a prehospital because the little shit isn't exactly 20 lbs anyway
That’s true, all the male nurses I know are either Philippino or phaggots
find associates nursing programs in your area. enroll in a community college to knock out prerequisites and you'll be golden
The only formula is converting lbs to kilograms.
2.2 lbs = 1 kg
So how much was I supposed to give the little bastard? And what, saline?
From what I'm hearing I should just salt of of what the little fucker weights.
As for the drip rate?
Dating a trap, you should be in the fire field already son
drip rate doesn't matter it's not like you're gonna give the fucker flash edema. national registry is weight based so you don't need to worry about broslow or pediatric dosing chart. My patient weighs 20 pounds which is roughly 9 kgs so I will be giving a 180 ml ns bolus.
It never even crossed my mind until I read this. They really are all Filipino or fags.
Dont I need basic emt training to become a fireman
yep and in more and more places you need a p-card too
P-card?
paramedic license
Fails Pediatric Intraosseous Infusion. KYS.
Almost there man. Thanks for the patience.
But where does the 180 come from?
>Have some tits I got from a Kik whore today
Nigga, I think you should find a different line of work.
Try being a fireman. All you have to do is put the blue stuff on the red stuff, then go home jerk off to YouTube vids of different firetrucks
Don't try to sound cool faggot. You're still at the bottom of the medical field
Patient weighs 9kg.
Max fluid volume is 20ml/kg
20 X 9= 180 mls
If this doesn’t make sense, do this:
>nurses aid detected
Lmao I was asking what it was. Being a paramedic sounds like my cup of tea though.
Thanks man
>Implying you wouldn't take it in a heartbeat
You're supposed to subtract 10% you dope . Don't listen to this guy OP
Subrtact 10% of what? ml/kg is pretty simple math....the weight is already in kg
Most are wannabe aloha makes.
Like cop,,firefighters, or any military personnel.
>The dash of gayness should be implied, but in case it's not. 75% are in the closet
If you like that, it's for you.
Basic here.
Was told it's Kg×lbs=(answer of kg×lbs) -10%=_______
We haven't gotten to drip rate yet however
>wannabe aloha makes
What does that mean user?
Auto correct.
>Alpha Males
Now it makes sense. Yeah, don't think I'd be a paramedic just to be "alpha". Plus I think I might be a closet homo..or at the least bi
Nah, it just attracts Alphas.
If your in the closet, or just bi, it would honestly be a good fit.
ALOT of those guys are in the closet.
Crit Care Medic Here.
Take weight in lbs divided by 2.2 to get weight in kgs.
Standard fluid bolus for adults and peds per AHA and PHTLS is 20 mg/kg.
The pt. in the senario is 9 kg.
20 ml x 9 kg = 180 ml
This guy is trying to fuck you up. You don’t subtract anything. Look up the national registry paramedic protocols
>cleaning up shit and vomit
No thanks fag
>Implying that's not EXACTLY what you do once we drop them off to you.
I wonder if my instructor was giving another way to get this.
So, do you specify drip rate with that?
This drip rate for that is usually a bolus...so wide open.
If you need to give a specific volume of fluid over time the formula is volume in ml / time of infusion in minutes x tubing size (10 or 60 gtt set). That gives you gtts per minute.
Care to show me like you did with the other.
Want to be the cool basic who knows some advance stuff.
>Any cool stories?
Hoping to become a lifeflight medic
Wot?
I don’t think you meant to reply to me
